SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Urban green infrastructure: for who\, for what\, and how?
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Sustainable Systems would like you to join us for a seminar with visiting scholar Dr. Genevieve Metson. Lunch will be provided.\n\nSeminar Summary: In sustainability circles\, green spaces in cities are praised for their multifunctionality. However\, without intentionality\, win-wins are not a given across functions\, especially with changing climate conditions. London\, Ontario\, a rapidly growing mid-sized Canadian city\, is no exception. Increasing Indigenous food sovereignty\, for instance\, via urban agriculture\, foraging\, and fishing\, is heavily curtailed by land ownership\, and at times\, potential contamination from previous land uses. The current size of green spaces is also unlikely to keep up with urban flooding risks associated with increasing extreme events. And similarly\, urban agricultural spaces may be hotspots of nutrient losses to waterways even when focusing on nutrient recycling via compost. Translating academic findings into concrete management strategies is not only challenging\, but perhaps counterproductive — we need a paradigm shift for deep sustainability. This presentation discusses how community partnership\, living labs\, and art can be used as ways to bridge the gap between current knowledge and more uncertain futures in urban green spaces.\n\nBiography: Dr. Geneviève Metson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment\, at Western University in Canada\, where she runs the Sustainable Resource Management Lab. She uses social science\, natural science\, and arts methods to investigate how we can better manage phosphorus\, and other resources\, across scales. Her research uses a systems perspective and views nutrients as a useful lens to examine how societies engage with the provision of food\, clean water\, and waste treatment. This broad lens has afforded her the privilege to work in the USA\, Australia\, Sweden\, South Africa\, Malawi\, and Vietnam\, in addition to her ongoing work in Canada.

SUMMARY:Performance:Division Street Pipes
DESCRIPTION:Join us to enjoy a 30-minute organ recital.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts feature talented students and faculty of the U-M Organ Department on Thursdays at 12:15pm on the Richards-Fowkes organ at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. These 30-minute performances are free and open to the public\, and audience members are invited to enjoy their lunch while listening. The series is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Organ Department and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in an effort to bring organ music to local audiences while connecting U-M organ students with the wider community. Concerts offer attendees the opportunity to hear the versatility of the pipe organ beyond a worship setting.\n\n*There is no recital on November 26.*

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Creative Reuse at the Lab Swap Shop
DESCRIPTION:In association with the Michigan Arts Festival hosted by the Arts Initiative\, the Lab Swap Shop will be holding creative reuse workshops during regular Thursday hours from October 1 to October 29. These events use surplus lab supplies for art activities\, demonstrating the different ways that items can be reused. Workshop activities are as follows:\n--- 10/1: Block Printing Lab Coats **During Climate Week 2026**\n--- 10/8: Flask Potion Making\n--- 10/15: Flask Vase Painting\n--- 10/22: Serological Pipette Pointillism Painting\n--- 10/29: Spooky Swap Shop - Any and all crafts!\n\nJoin us for these events and get free supplies for your lab while you are there! You can also check out the Door-to-Door Lab Reuse Catalog for additional free lab supplies looking to find a home. Reach out to sustainable-labs@umich.edu with any questions!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Identification and Optimal Reserve Prices in English Auctions\, with an Application to Art
DESCRIPTION:We develop a partial-identification approach for English auctions with private values\, auction-level heterogeneity unobserved by the analyst\, and a potentially unknown number of bidders. Our framework permits restrictions on dependence among bidders’ valuations away from the extreme cases of independent private values and perfect correlation\, yielding sharp and informative bounds on the distribution of the highest valuation and the seller’s expected profit. We formulate reserve-price choice as a minimax-regret problem and derive tractable solutions to two relaxations of this problem. We apply our method to a new dataset covering more than 3\,500 lots auctioned by Christie’s and Sotheby’s. For modern art sold in New York City with pre-sale estimates between $1 million and $10 million\, we find that setting the reserve price 37 percent above the sellers projected value from retaining an unsold lot increases expected profit by approximately $150\,000 to $489\,000 per lot\, equivalent to 27 to 87 percent of average realized profit.
